Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 201: A Little Wonderful Drama is Coming [Subscribe]

Following Old Li's words, Da Meiyuan, who was also drinking herbal tea, was a little flattered, "Can I also imitate Jet Li's action style?"

"This is too floating."

As we all know, if Jackie Chan and Jackie Chan were put into the global market, it would be Jackie Chan and Jackie Chan who would beat Chow Yun-fat and Stephen Chow.

Mainland actors? That is Jiang Wujie (The Beekeeper) who made a splash overseas.

But Jiang Wu only borrowed the movie for a short while and it was gone for the time being.

Among Chinese actors and stars, Cheng and Li are currently the most traditional big names.

If we talk about non-traditional things, Li Wenyu is definitely the best!
He is at least the leading male role in (Dying to Survive), and he also has the aura of a director. He has worked hard for more than 3 years to build a fortune of over 400 billion RMB.

This is simply not comparable to what normal people working in the film and television industry can do.

Tong Liya exclaimed, "The second part has already been written. If we start filming right away and maintain the same level of quality, won't the second part be even more promising than the first one?"

"The Asian vote bank has accumulated over 100 million US dollars, and Europe and the United States have contributed tens of millions of US dollars."

"Sister Yuanyuan, this is only your first film as a heroine, and you're already chasing the template of heroic and kung fu blockbusters."

"You'll be a much bigger star than me, Azhi, Blake Lively, Qin Lan, and Alexandra at this rate."

Don’t just compare yourself with female stars.

If Da Meiyuan continues like this, her status will be much bigger than many male stars.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xiao Tong's exclamation, "Come on, there's no need to flatter me like that."

Xiao Tong smiled and nodded, "That's right, I still only like to flatter Brother Yu."

Da Meiyuan, "..."

She was confused for more than ten seconds and gave Xiao Tong the middle finger. "When will you, a great writer and talented woman, officially publish your debut work?"

"Taking advantage of the (Squid Game)'s popularity in the United States, we can enter the market and enter the bestseller list."

Da Meiyu is from the sister generation.

She already knew that Xiao Tong acted cute and coquettishly, asking Lao Li to be her ghostwriter, and the Chinese version of (Me Before You) only had about 100,000 words.

The English version has only about 100,000 words and can be completed in one book.

She didn't know that the original version (Me Before You), with the added bonus of a hit movie, sold over 1000 million copies worldwide.

But she was sure that the script that Lao Li brought out would be of guaranteed quality.

The Chinese and English editions of "Vanishing Lover" began publication in mid-December last year, and have already sold over 12 million copies in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

It doesn't seem like much, but if you spread it out in a country, the sales volume would only be a few hundred thousand.

But it's not even three months yet.

Before I met you, at the end of September last year, Lao Li had already taken out the full script.

Xiao Tong smiled secretly and showed Lao Li a wave of dancing and contentment, and tentatively said, "What about publishing next week? I've been practicing my signature for several months."

"If we hold a book signing, it should be OK."

All in all, Xiao Tong still feels a little guilty. It's a bit awkward to deceive the world with the reputation of a talented woman in this way, and she lacks confidence.

But Lao Li felt that this would be more motivated and would make her more respectful.

She could only go with the flow.

Fortunately, the movie "Perfect Strangers" directed by Pang Bing was a huge hit at the box office.

They are also planning (The Voice of China), and even Sister Yuanyuan is aiming to become a female superstar.

Her psychological pressure was relieved.

Old Li nodded readily, "Okay, then publish it next week."

…………

March 3, Arbor Day, around 12 am.

Old Li was working in the office when he received a report from his secretary Penguin that Ling Xiaosu had arrived.

Li Wenyu was in a daze for a few seconds and asked his secretary to arrange for Old Ling to come in so that he didn't have to wait in line anymore. After a while, Ling Xiaosu greeted him politely and reservedly.

Lao Li waved his hand. "Choose your own drink. Divorced Dazui?"

He found out through his classmates that Lao Ling and Dazui divorced two months ago.

In November last year, four months ago, he attended the celebration banquet of (Crazy Stone). That night, a reporter asked a question, and that bastard Lu Chuan fired off attacks on the Weibo outside the Great Firewall, accusing him of being a mountain eagle.

She only knows how to bully men and women in the entertainment industry.

Lu Chuan also received support from American and Japanese capital. If someone wanted to film (Nandu! Nandu!), they would ask him through a reporter whether he would ban the other party.

Several months passed.

Lu Chuan had no shortage of funds, but he couldn't find a good mainland production team, nor did he find many good actors in front of the camera.

The weird thing is, Big Mouth got away with it again!!
Go to (Nandu! Nandu!) and play an important role.

Also, Lu Chuan’s plan is not to find popular or good-acting actors in front of the camera, but ordinary people who are at the bottom of the social ladder and dream of becoming famous?

He actually got a group together.

This is not surprising in an era where people laugh at the poor but not at prostitutes, and where many people work for the sake of being a dog.

In January, a gossip paparazzi broke the news that Lu Chuan and Da Zui stayed together and traveled together in Tokyo, and the photos confirmed it.

This is also the big butterfly effect.

Lao Ling smiled nervously, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, Mr. Li. I've really had a rough time these past few years. I don't even know how to describe it."

Lao Li walked over to the water bar and threw a bottle of mineral water to Lao Ling. "I've wanted to complain since school. The water in Dazui is too deep, you can't control it."

"But you two are classmates and are in love, so I don't have the right to comment."

"Let's put it this way. We're planning a mediocre and cheesy project. It's not as good as My Love from the Star or Goblin."

"But it's a melodramatic and cheesy drama, and you're the one playing the scumbag male lead."

While he was speaking, Lao Ling stumbled and fell.

But this is normal, times have changed.

Li Wenyu sighed again, "Your image is just average. It's hard for a normal actor to make it big. Your scumbag role left a deep impression on the audience and made you famous."

"Let's talk about settling into an acting talent."

He's talking about the super cheesy project (The Temptation of Going Home).

Although it is cliché, this TV series is amazing. Just looking at the ratings, it has beaten "Jewel in the Palace" and "Palace", the drama "A Secret Life of Love".

Looking at the audience share, "Temptation of Love" even beat "In the Name of the People"!!

Is this outrageous? A pirated version of In the Name of the People was leaked mid-air, and the entire high-definition pirated version of the show went viral online while it was still airing.

The highest national audience share was only 18.62%.

The highest viewership rating is 5.58%!

Temptation of Going Home had the highest audience share of 26.7%, setting a record for Hunan Province Satellite TV ratings.

In the Name of People broke the ratings record of Temptation after the pirated version leaked.

Let me explain briefly. The audience rating of 5.58% is the highest in 2005 when "Bright Sword" had a viewership rating of over 15% and "Chinese Paladin" had a viewership rating of over 13%.

The standard is the same.

In 2011, when (Temptation of Love) and (The Secret of Love) were aired, a 5% viewership rating made it the best drama ever.

And then in 2017, when it officially aired? If you can get 5%, you'll be like (Goblin), which debuted in 2004 and had over 20% viewership, a step ahead of the times. The audience share is different.

The audience share statistics refer to how many television sets are turned on across the country when the drama is broadcast. Your 20% is equivalent to the proportion of all turned-on TV sets that are watching this program.

The ratings for "The Temptation of Going Home" peaked at 26.7%. When it was airing, over a quarter of all the TVs turned on in China were watching "The Temptation"!!

In the same year (the Big Secret version of Love Offering), the highest audience share of the finale was 16.7%.

The finale of "Scarlet Heart" which originally belonged to Blind Sister only barely broke 10% of the viewership share.

Comparing these data, you will know how bizarre (the temptation to go home) is.

Of course, Lao Li did not write the story himself. (Temptation of Going Home) is a remake of the 2008 South Korean version (Temptation of Wife).

This weird and wonderful drama has a very low reputation and an average rating, etc.

It’s because the remake is so harsh, it’s a copy of Temptation of Wife from 08!

The copying is too harsh.

Now in 2005, Li Wenyu arranged for someone to call the original screenwriter of "Temptation of Wife" Jin Shunyu to Beijing.

Give her enough money to create a love, drama, and family drama, incorporating concepts such as infidelity, extramarital affairs, divorce, revenge, etc.

Find a bunch of Chinese screenwriters to help with the Chinese translation.

That is the "authentic Chinese melodramatic and tragic love drama about a wealthy family" produced by Shi Guang.

Without all the copying and plagiarism, the quality and reputation will definitely improve.

Improve the costumes and props? The original version was so bad and had so many flaws, but it still beat a bunch of big dramas in terms of ratings.

Even the legendary Korean dramas such as (Palace Lock Heart), (Scarlet Heart), and (Jewel in the Palace) are not its match.

Only those with full health and no pirated or leaked version (in name) can easily defeat it.

The upgraded version of the melodramatic love story between wealthy families, revenge, etc. will erupt more violently. I won’t talk about the too high standards, but "Zhui Zhui" (Bright Sword) and "Chinese Paladin" are still acceptable.

Or surpass (Sword)!
Because in 2008 (Temptation of Wife) in South Korea, it only had a 10% viewership rating when it first aired. Yes, it was the viewership rating, not the audience share.

But the finale had a viewership rating of over 40%, the viewership rating of 2008!! Not share!
For all TV series, whether they are on or off, 40% of them are watched.

Ling Xiaosu got up after falling down and bowed 90 degrees, "Boss Li, even if I kneel down and kowtow to you several times, it still feels a little bit insufficient."

"Thank you for your kindness in giving me a new life."

Li Wenyu waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "We only have the general idea for the play. We're just starting to find a writing team to fill it out. There's no need to rush."

"Just work on your acting skills. Life is so long, everyone has encountered a few hurdles."

He was thankful for the fact that Lao Ling had handed him several screenwriting scripts when he was in such a low position at the beginning before his rebirth.

After a while, when he waved to let Lao Ling leave, he began to consider who would be the heroine of "Temptation of Going Home".

For such a bizarre TV series, after the project became a big hit, the original actor Lao Ling’s pay per episode of the TV series increased from 5 to 15.

It doesn't look like a big increase, he plays a scumbag!

The one who really became popular was Choo Ja-hyun, who played Lin Pinru. Between 2011 and 12, Choo Ja-hyun became famous thanks to Pinru.

The pay has risen from more than 10,000 yuan per episode to 500,000 or 600,000 yuan per episode!
The film remuneration has increased by dozens of times.

After all, it is an upgraded version of the hit that easily beats the big hits like "Palace" and "Scarlet Heart".

Sister Lin also achieved financial freedom because of this. She could earn 20 to 30 million before tax, or even more, by just taking on a major TV series.

According to the exchange rate, until 2024, when Song Huiqiao starred in the first and second parts of "Dark Glory", her pre-tax remuneration was less than 2000 million yuan.

Because the two dark series only have 16 episodes, not to mention that (Temptation of Going Home) itself is a long story of 68 episodes.

A post-era TV series (Temptation) starring Qiu Xiuyan, which earned 20 to 30 million RMB, also had more than 40 episodes.

TV dramas that are at the level of Grandma's Foot Binding Cloth really make money.

That’s the gap between 2012 and 2024!

Li Caihua, who played the second female lead Ellie, also saw her pay increase five or six times, and some media reported that her net worth increased 50 times.

The pay for an episode has increased from tens of thousands to 30 per episode, and the total value includes comprehensive income from endorsements, commercial performances, etc.

All copied versions are like this, original and upgraded?
This is also a powerful booster for making a group of actors and stars famous.

Li Wenyu sat at his desk and thought for a while, and decided to find someone through his connections at Beijing Film Academy, so he would definitely not use the original version.

He suddenly felt that it would be quite appropriate to bring in Jiang Shuying to play the adopted daughter of the Lin family and the third party who destroyed Pinru's marriage.

Jiang Shuying is suitable for the royal sister style with high heels and big red lips, and she is super tea.

Including Lin Pinru, who is synonymous with kindness and virtue? Liu Shishi also has the style of a little white flower, a girl next door, and this is shown very well in (Goblin).

After thinking about it, Lao Li complained, "These two are still a little young. When I go home, I'll mainly talk about queens and mature women and wives..."

One is dignified and the other is sexy.

Liu Bing and Hu Jing, or Jiang Qinqin and Zeng Li seem to be a good match.

…………

On March 3, Weibo Group’s big internet celebrity plan was steadily promoted.

Time Media Building.

When Wang Zixuan and Zhao Ji left the building, Xiao Wang was shaking with excitement. "My official Weibo account has 20 followers."

"There are already some cosmetics brands in the background, and then they contacted the shampoo company. They want to advertise? The highest quote is 5000 yuan per product."

"Are we really going to publish it?"

Although being a beauty blogger and a fashion blogger are different in nature from the school beauty pageant that once rose in 01, the gap between them is also huge.

But I kept it for about ten days.

Wang Zixuan has over 20 fans, most of whom are female. There are too many sisters and girls following her updates all day long, asking for makeup tutorials, advice, etc.

These dynamics and hot comments will be promoted by the official, and will often appear on the official Weibo of the cosmetics brand to advertise.

There are naturally many brands that will make you excited.

Now Wang Zixuan’s official certified Weibo account is “Semi-professional makeup artist Xiao Wang”!
Her office is also in the Media Building, and many professional makeup artists help her, but to truly become an internet celebrity, she has to sign a contract for economic sharing.

This is a contract signed with the Weibo platform.

The same is true for Zhao Ji.

There are 360 ​​people from all walks of life inside and outside the wall who have just been promoted. Some have professional teams to help them, while others are just wild talents who have become internet celebrities through their personal abilities.

In the future, signing contracts and making money will all be the responsibility of the Weibo platform.

Regardless of the overall trend, for Wang Zixuan, who came from an ordinary family, 2005 yuan for an advertisement in the spring of 5000?
This is not an ordinary dream.

Even in 2025, if we cooperate with promotion on Weibo or other platforms, we can earn 5000 yuan for one advertisement, and we will still be in the high-income group.

Zhao Ji was also a little happy, "I can't earn as much as you, but this is just the beginning, it's been like this for ten days."

"I'm wondering now, once you have a million followers, will you be like Senior Sister Huang Shengyi, who easily got five or six-figure advertising revenue as a freshman?"

Senior Brother Li is so awesome.

After a few more sighs, Zhao Ji said cheerfully, "How about eating more today to celebrate? At worst, you can just eat enough and exercise more."

"Sister Tong is so athletic and self-disciplined, which is probably one of the reasons why Senior Brother Li likes her."

Wang Zixuan nodded heavily, "Eat more, and go for it."

Eat more and exercise more, which is scientific and healthy.
